Spica Hefeweizen. One for me, one for the wife. This is so damn good; I wish they were a bit closer to home
Looks brilliant and I bet it tastes wonderful as well.
Does it differ in any way from a German Hefeweizen?
Some arrivals from a friend.
Do enjoy them. Tasting notes welcome.....
Had this on Monday night; didnt realize that its 16% ABV. Very, very good - a bit more carbonation than I expected.
Wow. 16% ABV........
How did it taste?
In my experience, breweries - even the very good ones - such as Buxton's or Founder's - occasionally have problems with the production of beers at such a high ABV.
Anything over 11.5% ABV can present problems, because the challenge is to have the stout (porter) beautifully balanced - yet hefty and yes, powerful - but not so powerful that the alcohol overpowers everything else.
However, if they can master that balancing trick, - making that blend of flavour, taste, heat and power seamless - then the beer can be superlative.
It was VERY smooth; the alcohol wasnt overpowering, and I got a definite vanilla flavoring from it. I liked it enough to go and get two more bottles
If you bought several more bottles, then it clearly passed the taste test.
Do enjoy. Personally, I love smooth porters.
Oh my goodness, this was heaven in a glass. Adroit Theory Imagination Atrophy - Caramel Macchiato Milk Stout

This is the one that I want - it looks (and doubtless tastes) sublime.
Planets Gotta Roll by Monkish Brewing. Spectacular.
Yesterday's brews.
UC Murkeley by Pure Project Brewing in San Diego. Collaboration with Fieldwork Brewing (in Berkley, CA) So creamy, smooth, and juicy. Loved it. 8.3% abv
Beachwood 11 by Beachwood BBQ in Long Beach, CA. This was supposed to be a canned release for their 11th anniversary of their Seal Beach location, but they forgot to order cans. An epic double/imperial IPA and I was happy to bring a couple of crowlers home.
